Nice, Baz,
Especially like the ‘Fee’
Love the details of the bombs.
Here's to them what are like us. Damn few and they're all dead.
So to all the down unders, I have an opportunity next year to return to the N Z for another visit to see the family in Auckland. A good month is available with possible stop overs on the way. Are there any major events or places one of our obsession might strive to include? Omaka was truly awesome, having spent a really long day there, where and what else? We were stopped over in Brisbaine for only an hour, might get to arrange a better schedule if I had intell as to what is where. Most likely the major air hub cities would be the best. Any ideas?
Great photographs, as usual, Barry!
Nice pics Baz.
Run for your life - there are stupid people everywhere!
Great pics Barry. The DH5 is awesome with those wings.
Superb pics Baz.

Lovely photos, Barry!
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
Beautiful aircraft - fantastic pics. Thanks Barry.
I gotta get to one of these NZ airshows one day.
Thanks for the Great Pictures.
The FE should boost our chaps involved in the Campaign Baz, or maybe not?
Great pics anyway.
Rob.

You are the greatest in posting great pics.
Great pics again Barry. Keep up the brilliant work!
Hi David!
Two I would really recommend:
Near Brisbane at Caboolture is the TAVAS WW1 Museum with many WW1 flying replicas etc.
In Canberra the superb Australian War Memorial & Museum. Wonderful Dioramas, Historic vehicles, WW1 & WW2 Aircraft. Film Clips etc, etc.
Check them both out on line!
Will do, Thanks! What's the weather like there in Sept/Oct?
I think the next Hood aerodrome open day is October this year. Their website should have details.
Of course - when you were here last time, I'm sure your son would have taken you to MOTAT. If not, one part of their site has a heap of aircraft.
Lovely shots, as always, Baz! I agree with Bob that your picture-jitsu is superb...
That night bomber version of the Fee is really gorgeous, and as Jim mentioned, it's nice to see the bomb arrangement, particularly with the yellow against the black.
All the best,
Matt
Fantastic photos, Barry, thanks!
I think you deserve a special Avatar Title, like those that some of us enjoy.
My suggestion is: "Expert Observer"

Great pictures, Barry!
Voilŕ le soleil d'Austerlitz!
Super pics Baz. Love them both. Have never seen a photo of a DH-5 like this!
Interesting .... where did you find those photos? I can unequivocally state that those two aircraft did not fly (anywhere) at Easter 2019 !
To my knowledge the R.A.F. F.E.2b has never flown at an Easter airshow in New Zealand, so this shot from local (Wellington) photographer James Fahey is from some earlier weekend display at Hood Aerodrome in Masterton (probably at least two years old if not more), while the uncredited shot of the DH.5 was also taken at Hood Aerodrome, again (by the look of it) during a Vintage Aviator display and/or practice weekend.
